The Lib Dem manifesto for the 2024 general election has been launched by the party's leader, Sir Ed Davey.

Titled 'For a Fair Deal', the document is centred around how the Liberal Democrats believe the UK can become a fairer society. It accuses the Conservative Party of "neglect" and of being "out-of-touch", adding that voters have been "let down and taken for granted" by Rishi Sunak's party during its time in government.
